EP44 | Carson Slovak & Grant McFarland

Carson Slovak and Grant McFarland of Atrium Audio (August Burns Red, Black Crown Initiate, Live, Candlebox) joined us to discuss the route they’ve taken to build their studio to the production powerhouse it is today.

The Atrium Audio story is fascinating. They have one foot firmly planted in productions relationships they’ve built with established 90s acts and the other foot seriously kicking ass in trend setting modern productions. It’s something that very few producers are able to manage with the degree of success that Carson and Grant have achieved.

“I love not being in my comfort zone, because that’s the way I learn.” – Carson Slovak
